No fewer than four persons were killed and 10 buildings destroyed in a renewed cult clash at Afokeplla in Etsako-East Local Government Area of Edo State on Monday, Igbere TV has learnt.

Our correspondent reports that residents of the area are now living in fear of reprisal attacks, following the attack by members of the cult groups.

A resident, Ahmed Seidu, said the killings were as a result of a misunderstanding between members of rival cults groups in the community.

He said the crisis escalated when one of the leaders of one of the cult groups was shot dead, resulting in a show of force by the rival groups.

The Chairman of the council, Aremiyau Momoh, who visited the community, confirmed that 10 buildings were set ablaze in the attack on the community.

Momoh told newsmen that the council had imposed a curfew from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. in the community until the situation was brought under control.

He said the police have commenced investigation and very soon, those who are found wanting will be brought to book.

However, when contacted by Igbere TV, the Edo Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Police Chidi Nwanbuzor, said the command was not aware of the situation.

“We don’t have that report yet at our command, I will have to get across to the Divisional Police Officer of Okpella on this development,’’ he told Igbere TV on telephone.

Okay

Edo ni mose. One of the most over hyped state in Nigeria. There is absolutely nothing cityish about it capital. Cultism is their bragging right, second only to PH. Old men will still be under their inherited ancestral mud buildings and be forming cult leaders. Jobless youths.

#Spits!

Armed robbers get money, cultists don't get money.....Both of them die, but one is paid.

Wat is rung wt afoonnjjj?

Aro Bagga and Ayes....

There is nothing in cultism but death.
